About Me

Enjoying the rewards of sharing my love of reading with my children, and hoping to pass some of that joy along to others.
I'm a credentialed teacher who chose to leave the classroom temporarily to enjoy being full-time mom. My boys have crowded bookshelves and I keep a "stash" in the closet of books they have yet to grow into. Library day is a much anticipated treat around here, and bedtime stories always seem to end with, "could we have one more, please?"

I'd love to hear if you've enjoyed the same books we do, or if you know others we might enjoy... so please share!

Happy Read Across
America Day!

Every year Dr. Seuss’s birthday is marked by the NationalEducation Association’s Read Across America Event. This year’s theme book is
The Lorax, highlighted in conjuction with the feature film version of that
title. If you’re a fan of the Lorax (or have yet to be introduced to this
eco-minded creature) I’m sure you’d enjoy celebrating by reading it with a child
(or a group). But you don’t have to love the Lorax or even Seuss to be a part
of this worthwhile event. Read Across America is an annual recognition of NEA’s
year-round goal of encouraging and motivating young readers. Whether you choose
a book you love or explore a new interest, read a treasured classic or a
noteworthy newbie, reading with a child is a wonderful opportunity for spending
time together and cultivating a love of reading. Take the pledge at the NEA homepage or the facebook cause page and get reading!

If you want to take advantage of the
Seuss theme, here are some fun resources to go along with the celebration:

Find a huge variety of activities in Seussville including book descriptions, videos, and games.

Visit your local library - many are participating in the celebration, or explore some new titles!

Any special celebration plans?
Anyone going to see The Lorax in theaters this weekend? The Lorax has some
pretty complex themes of ecology and responsible production, but B has been
captivated by it since he was about 3 ½. Do you think there’s a “right” age for
The Lorax?
